If you’re thinking about cutting the cord, the streaming landscape keeps throwing you new ways to save — at least for a little while. Right now, Hulu is running a promotional deal that knocks the price of Hulu (With Ads) + Live TV down to $64.99 per month for the first three months — a discount off the standard $82.99 monthly rate — and it bundles in Disney+ and ESPN access as part of the package. That makes it one of the more straightforward “buy everything in one place” alternatives to a traditional cable bill.

What the deal actually is

• Price: $64.99/month for three months on the Hulu (With Ads) + Live TV plan. After the three months, the plan auto-renews at the then-current regular monthly price (currently $82.99/month). Hulu also notes a scheduled price change in late October 2025 that will raise the regular price further.
• What’s included: Live access to 95+ channels (local networks and national cable), the entire Hulu on-demand library (ad-supported), Disney+ (ad-supported), and ESPN access for live sports. You also get Hulu’s Unlimited DVR to record as much as you want for up to nine months.
• Who’s eligible: The promotion is aimed at new subscribers and eligible returning customers — i.e., people who haven’t had an active Hulu + Live TV subscription recently. Current Hulu/Disney/ESPN subscribers typically aren’t eligible.

Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is running a rare promotion that gives you three months for $64.99 each, featuring live channels, Disney+ content, and ESPN’s top sporting events.

Why Hulu is positioning this now

Hulu + Live TV is one of the top “one-bill” streaming options because it mixes linear TV (news, local networks, cable channels) with big streaming libraries. For someone who wants live sports, local news, and the convenience of Disney content (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar), it’s a tidy bundle — one place to search, record, and stream. Promotions like this are timed to nudge cord-cutters (or returners) before the holiday season and ahead of documented price changes across streaming services.

What you actually get

• Live channels: Hulu advertises 95+ live channels, including the big national broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, where available), cable news (CNN, FOX News, MSNBC), sports networks (ESPN, FS1), and entertainment channels. Lineups can vary by ZIP code, so if a specific local affiliate or regional sports network is important to you, plug your ZIP code into Hulu’s signup page to verify.
• Library & Originals: Beyond live TV, you get full access to Hulu’s on-demand catalog (with ads on this plan) — that includes recent theatrical titles Hulu has licensed, and Hulu Originals. Disney+ content included is likewise on the ad-supported tier.
• Sports: For most fans, local games that air on regional and national networks show up on Hulu. Major national broadcasts on ABC, ESPN, FOX, etc., are covered; blackout rules and regional rights still apply for some local/RSN feeds.
• DVR: Hulu’s Live TV plan includes Unlimited DVR, letting you save recordings for up to nine months and fast-forward through recorded content. That’s a big practical advantage over many skinny bundles.

The fine print you should know before you click “subscribe”

1. This is temporary pricing. The $64.99 rate is promotional for the first three months only — after that, the subscription reverts to the regular retail price and will continue to auto-renew unless you cancel. Hulu lists the then-current retail price as $82.99/month and also flags an upcoming price increase to $89.99/month effective around October 21, 2025 — meaning your post-promo bill could be higher than $82.99 depending on timing. Confirm the renewal terms on Hulu’s offer page before you sign up.
2. Eligibility matters. These offers usually exclude accounts that already pay for Hulu + Live TV or are currently in a bundle that provides the same service. If you canceled recently, you might need to have been inactive for a minimum period (the company language typically says “new and eligible returning subscribers”). Double-check the eligibility terms shown at signup.
3. Ad-supported tiers. The discounted plan includes Hulu and Disney+ in their ad-supported forms. If you expect an ad-free experience, you’ll need to pay more (and in some cases change your plan after the promo).
4. Regional channel differences and blackouts. Channel availability varies by ZIP code and local rights. Sports blackouts and regional network restrictions still apply in some markets. Always check your ZIP code on Hulu’s channel lookup before you subscribe.

Who should consider taking this deal?

• Cord-cutters who want “all the things” in one place. If you want national news, local network feeds, mainstream cable channels and the Disney catalog without juggling multiple subscriptions, this simplifies things.
• Sports fans who want national games plus DVR. The inclusion of ESPN and Unlimited DVR is attractive if you want to record and rewatch games, or avoid missing broadcasts because of live scheduling.
• People who don’t mind ads. This is an ad-supported play. If you hate ads, this promo won’t remove them; it just reduces your monthly cost temporarily.
• Short-term users. If you need a reliable, full-service streaming solution for a few months (holiday season, sports season), a short promo like this can be a good, cheap way to get access.

How to sign up and protect yourself from sticker shock

1. Sign up at Hulu’s official site for the Live TV promo (that’s the authoritative place for exact pricing, eligibility, and deadlines).
2. Put a calendar reminder a week before the promo ends so you remember to evaluate whether to keep it. The plan auto-renews; if you don’t want the full price after the promo, cancel before the renewal. (Pro tip: canceling immediately after purchase typically lets you keep service through the paid period.)
3. Check your ZIP code for local channels and blackout rules before you rely on the service for live sports or local newscasts.

Is it worth it?

If you’re hunting for a single platform that gives live TV, Disney’s catalog, ESPN sports, and a generous DVR, this promo makes Hulu + Live TV much cheaper for a short time and is worth considering — provided you’re comfortable with ad-supported streaming and you understand the auto-renewal. For people who already have separate subscriptions that add up similarly, it can be a practical consolidation — but remember that the promotion is temporary and a higher retail price will follow, so treat it as a try-before-you-commit window rather than a permanent deal.
